Running backs are your lifeblood in the Fantasy Football playoffs and since you are either in your championship game or in the final four, you need to confirm your lineup with our Week 16 Fantasy Football RB Rankings. Sure, kickers and defenses are valuable too, yadayadayada. But it’s your running backs that you want to make sure you hit the mark on.

I posted the first round of a 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft and I plan on updating it through the rest of the NFL season and throughout the playoffs.

And the Week 16 Fantasy Football QB, WR and TE Rankings here were posted on Wednesday.

This week’s NFL schedule is not like the other weeks. There’s no Thursday night game and there’s no Monday night game. There is, however, a Saturday night game! Sooo I’ve got that going for me … which is nice.

These rankings are for non-PPR leagues, with four points for passing touchdowns. The good guys over at Four-Downs.com supply our rankings tool for each week, so we’re happy to use it and give them a shout-out!

Also, the rankings tool prevents me from adding Lions RB Mikel LeShoure, so understand that I have him 27th this week. And Redskins kicker Kai Forbath is ranked 10th, but he’s also not in the tool.

Again, I posted the Week 15 Fantasy Football QB, WR and TE Rankings on Wednesday. Meanwhile, enjoy our Week 16 Fantasy Football RB Rankings!

You will need Flash in order to view the rankings, which means you may not be able to view it from your smartphone.
